I got my kitten when she was 6-6 1/2 weeks old, so the breeder got her spayed, she was probably about 5 weeks. Make sure to get them spayed before 5 months (mine just turned 5 months on Halloween) because they are starting to grow more into a cat and they have to get spayed when a kitten.

a kitten is until a year but they are growing so much into a cat so DO NOT wait until a year...

I hope that that helped :P

Both male and female kittens can be spayed as early as 12 weeks of age, although this depends on the vet; many will now advocate early spaying whereas as others will prefer doing the procedure when the kitten is near four or five months old.

Cats usually reach sexual maturity around six months old and some even younger at four months, so it is best to spay the kitten before then.

All kittens can be spayed when fully seemed of mother, that's what I was told by a vet at PDSA but you can double check if you want

What age do you have a cat spade?

They are spaying cats/kittens earlier these days than in days gone by. The last kitten I had spayed and declawed she was only a couple of months old. They no longer are under the belief that dogs or cats need to go through a heat cycle before spaying anymore. I think they now feel that the younger they are the less traumatic the surgeries are on them. But each vet may have a different opinion, so I would call a few in your area and ask what their procedures are.
